Dairy Crest moves vehicle maintenance online with r2c 15 July 2013

Dairy Crest has adopted r2c Online's independent fleet maintenance and compliance system at its national distribution centre in Nuneaton to improve the efficiency of commercial vehicle maintenance.

The milk products giant, which delivers to 1.3 million homes every week, operates one of the UK's largest commercial vehicle fleets, and says, that by going online it has eliminated paperwork and the risk of holding incomplete records from its fleet maintenance processes.

All information about vehicles and any maintenance and repair work undertaken on them is now captured electronically and immediately uploaded to the system.

Jim Whitmore, transport compliance manager at Dairy Crest's national distribution centre, says that going electronic with this information improves the accuracy of compliance records and allows better communication and co-operation with maintenance suppliers.

"The r2c system has improved fleet performance, costs and visibility across all our tracked assets," states Whitmore.

"A paperless system has improved record retrieval along with online reporting to establish vehicle maintenance, defects and costs," he continues.
